Case Study: Social Media Networking App Company prevents 300M spam attacks a month with Arkose Labs

Social Media App Prevents 300 Million Spam Attacks in Under a Month

Social Media Networking App Company, a top-10 downloaded social networking app, was overwhelmed by hundreds of millions of spam, phishing and fake-account attacks each month that eroded user acquisition and frustrated legitimate users. After reCAPTCHA and custom in‑house defenses failed, the company turned to Arkose Labs and its Arkose Detect and Arkose Enforce capabilities to tackle the abuse while preserving good-user flow.

Arkose Labs deployed a risk engine plus interactive challenge-response enforcement to intercept automated attacks and identify inauthentic activity; within 30 days the app saw a reduction of 300 million spam reports per month, automated attacks became economically untenable, and fraudsters were driven to costly, detectable manual operations — all while minimizing false positives and protecting legitimate users.
